NYC Community Schools

Nation-wide community schools provide a holistic set of policies and programs to improve student wellness and academic achievement.

CDF-NY celebrates NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio’s Community Schools Initiative for its use of a service co-location model that positions schools as a resource hub for students and families by providing access to academic instruction, social services and health care delivery systems. CDF-NY’s Executive Director, Melanie Hartzog, is proud to serve on Mayor de Blasio’s Community Schools Advisory Board, and the CDF-NY policy staff with specific expertise in school healthcare delivery and school climate are pleased to contribute to advisory board workgroups and strategic planning.
